The intuitive Sonic Studio interface also offers a range of EQ options and one-click presets, allowing you to tailor acoustics to suit personal preferences or the characteristics of your headset. *A head-related transfer function is an audio algorithm derived from sound data recorded through a dummy head.

The results are combined into an algorithm that allows Sonic Studio's virtual surround to process audio that’s true to life.
